Umber is a caring and loyal dragon, very kind to those he loves, and is also extremely observant. Examples of his quick observations include noticing the scent of scavenger dens, even in the middle of a desperate and frantic escape, remembering [[Carnelian]] from a past battle, and being the first to recognize Clay. Umber runs away with [[Sora]] after her attempts to kill Icicle. He has, understandably, also had an ongoing relief since the end of the war, according to [[Moonwatcher|Moon]]. He thinks very highly of his siblings, saying that Sora was the smartest dragon he knew and [[Marsh]] was the quickest. Umber is also very loyal to his siblings; he was willing to leave Jade Mountain Academy to keep Sora safe and flee with her.

Umber's egg was laid by Cattail as a part of a clutch including Clay's, whose egg was later sold to the Talons of Peace for two cows. [[Reed]], Sora, [[Pheasant]], [[Crane]], and Marsh are his other siblings. Umber's egg was the last one to hatch, and he was presumably helped out of his egg by Reed, his "[[Bigwings]]", while in reality, their lost sibling, Clay, was their actual eldest brother. As a result of [[Queen Moorhen]]'s alliance with [[Princess Burn]], Umber and his siblings were forced to fight in the [[War of The SandWing Succession]], resulting in the death of his sister Crane in battle roughly six years after being hatched.

Umber, along with his siblings Sora and Marsh, was one of the first students to attend the new and prestigious Jade Mountain Academy, and he is placed in the Jade Winglet. When he met the other members of the Jade Winglet, Moon overheard that he thinks [[Qibli]] is "gorgeous", and also that he and [[Kinkajou]] secretly wish that Qibli and Winter, respectively, were their destinies. He stated that Carnelian seems familiar, perhaps from a previous battle in which the two (as their tribes were allies) may have fought together. After learning that his sister Sora had attempted to kill [[Princess Icicle]] using [[Dragonflame Cactus|Dragonflame Cacti]], resulting in the deaths of Carnelian and [[Bigtail]], and that she also rigged a stalactite to fall on Icicle, Umber decided to leave the Academy alongside his sister in order to keep her and others safe.

=== [[Clay]] ===
=== [[Clay]] ===
Along with his other siblings, he loves Clay. He was the first of his siblings to recognize Clay when he returned to the Mud Kingdom in search of his family.
Umber loves Clay; despite not being able to grow up with him, he loves him just as strongly as he loves his other siblings. He felt a "familiar feeling" towards Clay even before he knew who he was.{{Ref|TDP|290}}


===[[Sora]]===
=== [[Qibli]] ===
Umber felt confused and betrayed when he found out that Sora tried to kill Icicle. When Sora escaped the school, Umber went with her to protect her and to protect everyone else from her.
Umber seems to be attracted to Qibli; he thought of Qibli as gorgeous{{Ref|MR|78}} and wished he were his destiny.{{Ref|MR|85}} He is worried about sounding like an idiot in front of him.{{Ref|MR|79}} When he fled Jade Mountain Academy with Sora, parting with Qibli made him feel longing, heartbreak, and loyalty so strongly that Moonwatcher could feel it as a physical pain in her chest.{{Ref|MR|268}}


===[[Turtle]] ===
=== [[Sora]] ===
Umber and Turtle shared a sleeping cave with each other before Umber ran away with Sora. They pulled their reed mats together and slept with their backs against the other. This was because both of them felt a need to have siblings close to them. In ToP, Turtle stated that he viewed Umber as a brother, but it is unknown if Umber feels the same.
Umber deeply cares for Sora and has a close bond with her; although he felt confused and betrayed when he found out Sora set the dragonflame cactus bomb, which resulted in the death of one of his winglet members Carnelian, he told her he loved her anyway. Umber escaped from Jade Mountain with Sora and promised himself to keep her safe and to keep everyone else safe from her.{{Ref|MR|266}}


=== [[Qibli]] ===
=== [[Turtle]] ===
Umber seems to have romantic feelings towards Qibli based on a couple of thoughts overheard by [[Moonwatcher]] in ''[[Moon Rising]]'', and it has been confirmed that Umber is homosexual.
Umber and Turtle were clawmates and close friends in Jade Mountain; they pulled their sleeping mats close so they could sleep with their backs against each other, as they often slept this way with their siblings.{{Ref|ToP|88}} Turtle missed having him as a clawmate after Umber fled the school with his sister.

Biography

Pre-Series
Umber's egg was laid by Cattail as a part of a clutch including Clay's, whose egg was later sold to the Talons of Peace for two cows. Reed, Sora, Pheasant, Crane, and Marsh are his other siblings. Umber's egg was the last one to hatch, and he was presumably helped out of his egg by Reed, his "Bigwings," while in reality, their lost sibling, Clay, was their actual eldest brother. As a result of Queen Moorhen's alliance with Burn, Umber and his siblings were forced to fight in the War of SandWing Succession, resulting in the death of his sister Crane at the claws of Icicle in battle roughly six years after being hatched.

The Dragonet Prophecy

The Dragonet Prophecy

thumb|Clay meeting his siblings

Two days after the death of his sister Crane, Umber and his living siblings encountered their eldest brother, Clay, for the first time as Clay returned to the Mud Kingdom in an attempt to find his family. Umber was the first one to notice Clay near the mud pools and to have a feeling that he was part of their family, notifying his siblings. The others soon found Clay as he finished talking, dejected, with Cattail, and were overjoyed to meet him. Umber told his siblings that Clay had looked familiar. They helped Clay make peace with himself and, despite protests, let Clay go with the other dragonets of destiny.
The Hidden Kingdom
Umber was mentioned by Glory when she thought about where the dragonets would go after the prophecy.
The Dark Secret
In the prologue, Umber and his siblings were fighting off attacking IceWings. Clay's siblings all appeared to hate the war and debated joining the Talons of Peace, though they decided against it in the end. Umber disliked the war the most and was the timidest of them all.
The Brightest Night
He and his siblings were seen when Sunny and Clay went to the MudWings to send a message to Burn. Umber hugged Clay when the group realized his presence. He was reluctant to go along with the MudWings' planned attack on the IceWings. In the epilogue, Clay said that he would love to have Umber and his siblings as students at the Jade Mountain school, also adding that Umber's history and reading were not so good.

The Jade Mountain Prophecy

Moon Rising
Umber, along with his siblings Sora and Marsh, was one of the first students to attend the new and prestigious Jade Mountain Academy. He was assigned into the Jade Winglet. When he met the other members of the Jade Winglet, Moon overheard that he thought Qibli is "gorgeous," and also that he and Kinkajou secretly wished that Qibli and Winter, respectively, were their destinies. He stated that Carnelian seemed familiar, and that they may have fought together during the war. After learning that his sister Sora had attempted to kill Icicle using dragonflame cacti, which resulted in the deaths of Carnelian and Bigtail, and that she also rigged a stalactite to fall on Icicle, Umber decided to leave the Academy alongside his sister in order to keep her and others safe from her. Before he and Sora departed, he and Qibli embraced.
Escaping Peril
Turtle stated that it felt weird in his sleeping cave with Umber gone.
Talons of Power

Umber was mentioned by Turtle, when he thought about Umber and how he missed his clawmate. He said that Umber reminded him of his brothers.

Turtle thought that if he survived, he would enchant something to find Umber and make sure he was safe.
Darkness of Dragons
Umber was mentioned in Moonwatcher's thoughts about how she misses the members of the Jade Winglet that were no longer there.

Relationships

Clay

Umber loves Clay; despite not being able to grow up with him, he loves him just as strongly as he loves his other siblings. He felt a "familiar feeling" towards Clay even before he knew who he was.[7]

Qibli

Umber seems to be attracted to Qibli; he thought of Qibli as gorgeous[8] and wished he were his destiny.[9] He is worried about sounding like an idiot in front of him.[10] When he fled Jade Mountain Academy with Sora, parting with Qibli made him feel longing, heartbreak, and loyalty so strongly that Moonwatcher could feel it as a physical pain in her chest.[11]

Sora

Umber deeply cares for Sora and has a close bond with her; although he felt confused and betrayed when he found out Sora set the dragonflame cactus bomb, which resulted in the death of one of his winglet members Carnelian, he told her he loved her anyway. Umber escaped from Jade Mountain with Sora and promised himself to keep her safe and to keep everyone else safe from her.[5]

Turtle

Umber and Turtle were clawmates and close friends in Jade Mountain; they pulled their sleeping mats close so they could sleep with their backs against each other, as they often slept this way with their siblings.[12] Turtle missed having him as a clawmate after Umber fled the school with his sister.

Quotes

"I hate this war. I don't understand what we're even fighting for. Who cares who the SandWing queen is? I've never met Burn and I don't want to. Why am I fighting an IceWing over a throne that has nothing to do with either of us?"
― to his siblings about the war (The Dark Secret, prologue)
"Can't you smell it? We flew over part of it, too — it's pretty well hidden in the forest."
― to his siblings about a scavenger den (The Dark Secret, prologue)
"I hope we don't have to. I hope Clay fulfills the prophecy and ends the war quick and saves the world really soon, before we have to do any more fighting. Don't you think? Maybe he will?"
― to his siblings about killing other dragons (The Dark Secret, prologue)
"When do we eat? Just kidding. Pretending to be Clay."
― to the rest of the Jade Winglet and Tsunami (Moon Rising, page 84)
"This is my brother and sister. Marsh is really fast... you should see him fly. And Sora knows everything; she's the only one who ever practiced reading."
― to Kinkajou and Moonwatcher (Moon Rising, page 107)
"Sora, it's okay. I love you anyway."
― to Sora after she attempted to kill Icicle (Moon Rising, page 212)
